All materials and tools will be provided.

Week 1: Learn the 4 stages of wooden furniture restoration, Strip/ Sand/ Stain/ Seal.  We will go through all the tools and products.  Finally, we will discuss breaks, cracks and bora.  We will also start working on individual projects.

Week 2: Upcycle Painting Techniques. Continue working on projects.
